Light Up the World

“Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life.”  Philippians 2:14-15.

It seems that whining makes the world go round.  Everywhere we go people are whining.  Everybody is doing it.  From the kid who takes our order at a fast food restaurant, to grandma who is unhappy with the way the paperboy folds her paper, to you and I who hate our bank but just keep going back for more, we are all whining. 

What is the matter with us?  Have we forgotten that we are the light of the world representing Jesus?  Well, maybe for a little bit.  So, let’s shut up, lighten up, and fulfill our commission to be lights in the world.

Now, go light up the world.
